Get to Know ...Sisi's Extensive Schedule during US-Africa Summit in Washington

At the begining of his visit to Washington, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi will have a working breakfast with the Republican leaders in the US House of Representatives for Kentucky, Texas, Ohio, and South Carolina.

In press remarks, Presidential Spokesman Bassam Rady said that President Sisi will also hold on Wednesday, at his residence in Washington, a meeting with Republican and Democratic members of an "Egypt's friends" group in Congress.

Moreover, the spokesman added that President Sisi will hold talks with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, at the Washington Convention Center.

Then, El-Sisi will attend a banquet organised by US President Joe Biden at the White House in honour of African leaders participating in the US-Africa summit.

Furthermore, Rady added that Sisi is set to take part in the closing session of the US-Africa Business Forum, in the presence of Biden.

It is worth mentioing that, the 2nd “US-African” summit kicked off on Tuesday in Washington, in the presence of leaders from all over the African continent.

The summit will last for 3 days, from December 13 to 15, 2022. US President Joe Biden invited 49 African heads of state.

The US excluded 4 countries currently suspended by the African Union (AU).

Representatives of about 50 African countries, including heads of state and government, civil society and the private sector, as well as officials of US administration and the African Union (AU) Commission, will participate in the summit - the second of its kind after the Obama summit in 2014.

Earlier, US President said he is looking forward to working with African governments, civil society, the private sector to advance shared vision for the future of US-Africa relations.
